Sue Cambridge, Executive Director: Finance and Corporate Services

Welcome

Thank you for your interest in applying to be our new Human Resources Director.

This is truly an exciting time to join ABRSM. Together with our partners who form our Governing Body – the Royal Academy of Music, the Royal College of Music, the Royal Northern College of Music and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland – we support the teaching and learning of music throughout the world.

Reporting to me and having regular contact with Michael Elliott our Chief Executive, this is a business-critical role where you can have a significant impact as ABRSM continues along its exciting pathway of progress and change.

We are looking for an inspirational Human Resources professional who will be a key member of our Senior Management Team and will thrive in a role which has considerable impact by leading the implementation of our new People Strategy, contributing to corporate strategies and influencing our strategic decision making. I’m sure you’ll recognise the opportunity here to use your credibility and influence across a global organisation which is experiencing significant and positive change.

We employ somewhere in the region of 170 people although the HR team provides advice on a wider workforce as we are a much larger ‘virtual’ organisation with a worldwide workforce of circa 1,300 including the volunteers, examiners and representatives we work with globally. As our new HR Director you’ll balance both the strategic and operational aspects of HR leadership and appreciate the opportunity to help us deliver transformational change across an organisation which is highly collegiate and responds quickly to a fast-moving, global customer market.

Just as people all over the world trust and value our assessments, we will trust and value the professional HR expertise that you will bring to us from ambitious, customer focused organisations. This is an opportunity to thrive in a role where you can support the transformation of our entire organisation and I hope this encourages you to apply and contribute to our mission to ‘inspire achievement in music’.
